Computing is expanding beyond Earth as satellites and space-based infrastructure generate vast amounts of data. Instead of transmitting all raw data back to Earth, the trend is towards processing information locally in space to determine what is useful. This shift is driven by the increasing number and capability of satellites, the growing space economy, and the demand for software-defined, reconfigurable systems that can be updated post-launch. AI
IMPACT This development could lead to new AI applications and services that leverage real-time data processing in space, reducing reliance on terrestrial infrastructure.
